Be active and stay connected
The Parramatta Aquatic Centre (The PAC) is proud to support local seniors to be more active and connected within their local community. See below for a range of offerings available to seniors living in the Parramatta LGA.
Seniors fitness classes
Be a part of the PAC Seniors, where we believe that age is just a number and fitness knows no limits! It's about staying physically active, mentally engaged, and socially connected. Through regular exercise, lifelong learning, and meaningful social interactions, PAC Seniors programs enable our community to stay healthy, independent, and empowered.
As we age, physical activity becomes increasingly vital, helping to maintain strength, flexibility, and balance while reducing the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Moreover, exercise is a fantastic way to stay socially connected, fostering friendships and a sense of community.
Our programs offer a variety of fitness options tailored to your needs and preferences. All classes below are included in PAC memberships or available to try for a casual entry fee.
Gentle Exercise

Each session will be a mix of light aerobics, balance, co-ordination, joint strength, and mobility exercises to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Modifications to exercises will be provided to cater for most fitness levels.
Gentle exercise is the perfect place to start or restart on your path to better health through physical activity in a supportive community on the same path.
